Health: Women's Studies

Attention, all women: science wants you. Men have long been the subjects of clinical trials (one reason: they don't get pregnant), but the findings don't always translate to the other sex. Already, doctors know that women's bodies differ from men's (heart disease, for example--the No. 1 killer for both men and women--typically manifests about 10 years later in women). "There are big gaps in our knowledge," says Harvard's Dr. Francine Welty. Want to participate?
